Abstract
A method for detecting objects in the surroundings of a vehicle. The method includes reading in a first image, of a vehicle camera, which represents the surroundings taken using a first exposure time and reading in a second image of the vehicle camera, which was taken after the first image and using a second exposure time, the second exposure time differing from the first exposure time, and extracting an image detail from the second image, the image detail representing a smaller area of the surroundings than the first image. During the extracting, a position of the image detail in the second image is determined based on at least one parameter which represents information on travel of the vehicle and/or a position of an infrastructure measure in front of the vehicle and/or which is independent of a moving object that was detected in a preceding step in the image detail.
